The third car was not disabled and was able to turn into an adjacent parking lot.

One person was transported to UPMC Passavant-Cranberry with neck pain, according to the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company.

The cause of the crash was not immediately known to firefighters, but one sedan suffered heavy front-end damage while another had extensive damage to the passenger side. The third car was struck by debris from the collision.

The accident was cleared, and both lanes of Route 19 northbound reopened just before 8 p.m.
